In this webinar, hear from three communities at different stages of considering investment in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and with three scales of stakeholders in mind:

• the community along the proposed corridor
• the region impacted by the investment and
• the state able to withhold or grant permission and funding.

Learn how each location – Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Twin Cities in Minnesota; and Indianapolis, Indiana – has framed the opportunity around transit investments and defined the stakeholders missing from the conversation.

Details

Milwaukee’s first bus-rapid transit (BRT) line is under construction. The city’s 27th Street corridor is likely to be the second. 
>> For the webinar, Dave Steele, who heads up a local transit advocacy organization, will speak to leveraging the moment to help ensure that future transit-oriented development (TOD) involves the community.

In Indiana, transit agencies depend on the funding allocated by the Indiana General Assembly every two years. This means in order to build and maintain support for transit expansion, including BRT, agencies and their supporters have to continually make the case to lawmakers from rural areas with few transit options that a well-functioning transit system is an asset for everyone, including those who might not ride. 
>> Ambre Marr, who works on legislative issues at the capital, will talk about what’s involved in energizing stakeholder groups and legislators. 

In Minneapolis/St. Paul, Metro Transit just opened its fifth BRT line.  <https://mpactmobility.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d119df865e&id=ba5595dd25&e=809131645c> Read this piece from Governing about ambitions to be “the Bus Rapid Transit Capital of America. 
>> Find out from Kyle Burrows how the Twin Cities leveraged the success of their first arterial BRT line to build regional support for more! 

Context

Earlier this year, Mpact convened MOVE Roundtables in Milwaukee and Indianapolis, engaging stakeholders in discussions of Mobility, Opportunity, Voice and Equity in their local context. Thanks to AARP for their support for these Roundtables.  <https://mpactmobility.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d119df865e&id=6209a65168&e=809131645c> Read more about MOVE Roundtables.
